    A great musician, Dave Brubeck, died today. These magnificent tunes were never posted because they are well known, and, so, there was no need to promote them. Today, there is.

    Take Five (Subtle, thoughtful jazz.)

    Post 170 has great tunes by Al Jarreau. Post 173 has music by Kurt Elling. This post honors Dave Brubeck's music.

    Put all that together and you get a collaboration of both singers that is fun and enjoyable to see and hear.

    ‘Blue Xmas (To Whom It May Concern)’ by Bob Dorough & Miles Davis

    By: Kevin Gosztola

    Bob Dorough is a cool bepop, jazz pianist and singer, who collaborated with jazz legend Miles Davis to produce, “Blue Xmas (To Whom It May Concern).” He is known for working with Allen Ginsberg and he also once performed in between Lenny Bruce sets.

    The song may not be as much of a protest song as previous selections featured this week, however, its lyrics have an anti-commercialism theme.

    Dorough sings about “all the waste, all the sham, all the haste and plain old bad taste” of Christmas. The “sidewalk Santy Clauses” are too fake—”much, much too thin.” And they wear “fancy rented costumes, false beards and big fat phony grins.” The poor are out on the streets and, meanwhile, everyone is like “Gimme gimme gimme gimme” and “fill my stocking up.”

    This is the time of year “when the greedy give a dime to the needy,” but Dorough doesn’t find that to be all that genuine at all. People trade gifts that don’t matter. As far as Dorough is concerned, he doesn’t care for that “fal-de-ral.” There are lots of “hungry, homeless children” and he just does not get the point of spending time addressing “twenty zillion Christmas cards.”

    The final lyric that he sings, “I hope yours is a bright one, but for me it bleeds,” is steeped in cynicism. It depends on interpretation. This could be regarded as a standard expression of, “Bah humbug!” but it seems to be much more complex. Dorough enjoyed Christmas once upon a time, but now he feels engulfed by an ocean of phony Christmas spirit.

    “Children, settle down. I want to tell you a story about a man, a very scary man.

    His name is Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. That’s because he screams sometimes. One of the things he does is carry a skull on a stick. Don’t be afraid. I don’t think the skull belongs to anyone we know. He also lies in a coffin but he is not really dead. Anyway, when he screams he makes scary faces. Don’t be afraid. I don’t think he means to hurt anyone. He sometimes has teeth chattering on his piano and a hand severed from a body that moves. I don’t recognize them so don’t be afraid. He has a bone in his nose, too. Now that’s scary, but don’t be afraid. I’m not…at least I don’t think I am?

    Let’s do this. I’ll play something that shows what this man is like. Try not to cry. If you don’t run away, I’ll play another one. Some are funny and some are…well, more for adults. I really don’t want to explain them, so don’t ask.

    Here’s the first one by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. It’s called…

    I Put A Spell On You” (The Screamin’ song that established him as a 'mainstream, family-oriented talent')

    Hawkins was a great put-on, exaggerating his blackness, and using his performances to give pokes-in-the-eye to those who he knew would be pissed-off by what he did. His talent (and comedic aptitude) was, unfortunately, mostly obscured by all of the racial hatred. It was the prevailing zeitgeist at the time (and can still be.)

    His voice is more than respectable and his song choices are both playful and enjoyable as my original comments indicate.

    I have added some covers of his I Put A Spell On You to show how the music was great aside from his (purposely humorous) treatment of it. I have done a fair amount of research about him, and as I said initially, I still like the guy. His life must have had some personal fulfillment but likely a lot of ridicule and vicious hostility too. Very sad.

    Bonnie Raitt’s father, John Raitt, was a well-known singer and starred in film and Broadway musicals. Some would consider Bonnie a pop star but the core of her music is blues. Her lovely voice, stage presence and slide-guitar are unique and instantly recognizable.

    Her shows have frequently showed respect and appreciation for older blues artists by having them appear with her. Sippie Wallace was one of her favorites as was John Lee Hooker.

    The first tune is from her earlier period and is a cover of a Del Shannon hit from a time when music was frequently playful. The arrangement is great with some blues influences added by the harp player.

    She may be a somewhat (unfairly) underrated performer but it’s clear she’s an important part of our musical scene.

    Time passes and changes everyone and that process cannot be stopped. Knowing that, our expectations are sometimes fearful because we don't want to lose a good memory to what has become a new reality.

    The following event is recent and this excerpt from it symbolizes one of the reasons I started a thread called Reminiscences. It should touch you regardless of your musical tastes. Carole King's (who co-wrote the song with Gerry Goffin) reactions are the best of what makes us human.

What to replace it with?...hmmm...let's see...a very beautiful Mexican song, that reminds me of a tall, slender, gorgeous, Mexican girl in San Antonio I saw occasionally walking in town with friends on weekends many years ago. We smiled at each other after a while. I stopped one of her friends once to try to meet her. She spoke no English, I learned. I seem to remember her name was Maria.

    This song was popular then as it has been for a long time.

    We just lost another great artist, Richie Havens.

    I have said about others, like Gil Scott-Heron, that to be able to entertain and educate is the most glorious accomplishment a musician can attain. Those in authority rarely tell us what we need to know, but, fortunately, we have others that help us. Havens, when using socially-aware lyrics was one of them. His distinctive voice, style and passion made great songs even better. He will be deeply missed.

    It's Monday, a night known for being "blues night".

    Many musicians took blues music and adapted it for themselves. One group that admitted it was the Rolling Stones.

    Muddy Waters years ago owned the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago, and one night, the Stones were in town and showed up. Here is a taste of what happened. There were many other well-known musicians also there: Buddy Guy, Lefty Dizz, and Junior Wells (harmonica).

    The complete show is available on YouTube.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=bpX7OhkWC-o

    Let's see... it's still Monday, so let's have a contest. This clip has some of the most well-known blues musicians in the country. Name all of them and get an award from ... well, see the moderator.

    Mike & The Mechanics lead singer, Paul Carrack, was with both Ace and Squeeze. He wrote “How Long”. Here is M&Ms great live version.

    (12/2/13 - Spread the word. If you liked Paul Carrack's organ solo in this song, you might like pg 20, post 197, especially my recent post of Barbara Dennerlein's music. The other music is also great. Try it. If you like it, I get a commission.)

    A sign that you really like a song is that you like almost or every version you hear. Or maybe it's not that – maybe it's ...mania. Anyway, here is another version. All are obviously different in some ways. Did I mention that this song has a tremendous hook?

    Recorded in Air Studios in London.

    Another version that has some added ingredients of a large crowd, people in pink clothes, pink hair, and strange outfits.

    The same musicians that performed "How Long" above at Air Studios in London did this. A great song very well done.

    Paul Carrack

    Seems like every song he does has a unique hook. The melody, harmony, tempo and lyrics here are tops. BTW, I've been known to ask myself this question occasionally. lol

    A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.

    The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals. In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activity in question, the term smart mobs is often applied instead. (Wikipedia)

    What follows are events from all over the world where people have assembled in public places to surprise and entertain.

    They're fun, worth watching, and should be viewed on full-screen which will enhance
    your perspective of the venue.

    Were the world a place where this activity was commonplace we might be the better for it.

    One of my favorite places is the library. It is a great place to think amid the relaxing quiet.

    A beautiful, haunting piece that gradually changes as it is repeated.

    From Germany...

    From Hungary...a beautiful and difficult dance in a public square. As usual, the women's moves are the most complex...and lovely.

    From New Zealand...look at this...hey, where'd they go?

    From the U.K., a spectacular effort.

    And, finally, one that provides a bit of uplift for those that surely need it.

    While not a "flash mob" scene I found this impromptu street performance to be interesting and the music lovely.
